• About Us

  • The National Pastoral Counselors Training Center is a Certified Academic Institution for the National Christian Counselors Association {NCCA}, which is headquartered in Sarasota Florida. The NCCA is the Licensing/credentialing arm for all programs offered.

    We are a CHRISTIAN MINISTRY, NOT A BUSINESS, assisting individuals that have a desire and calling to help others as a Christian Counselor. We provide an educational path to certification, Christian (ecclesiastical) Licensing, and a degree from one of our approved Colleges/Universities.

    Unlike a State licensed counselor, all of our counselors {including Dr. White} are responding to a divine call and consider themselves to be in the ministry and service of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! 

    Some of our programs also require the individual to become a credentialed minister. We provide assistance in this area as well. More information about this as well as understanding the difference between a State Licensed Counselor and an NCCA Licensed Christian Counselor can be found here: https://npctc.net/do-i-need-to-be-a-minister/

    Be sure to go over our FAQ section as it will probably answer most of your questions. Feel free to contact us if you still need help.

    NPCTC is a ministry and outreach of the Robertsdale P.H. Church, under the spiritual covering of the International P.H. Church (Alpha Conference), under the leadership of Bishop Mike Gray. In addition to his NCCA and SACC credentials, Dr. White is an Ordained Minister with this Christian group. 

    If you feel called into the Christian Counseling ministry, we might just be the right educational choice for you!

The National Pastoral Counselors Training Center (NPCTC) is a CAI (Certified Academic Institution) for the NCCA. All programs offered through NPCTC are NCCA programs. To be clear, what we offer is Clinical Supervision for all NCCA programs. Most of the programs offered by the NCCA require Clinical Supervision. Dr. White is able to provide this service so that students may enroll and progress through any of the educational paths offered through the NCCA and a number of Christian Colleges / Universities that are associated with them.
